Friend Events

Hey friends. I thought it would be nice to have a calendar to track when everyone is gone to UT (I couldn't keep track of it in my head) so I added it on the side bar. If you have a Google calendar, just invite me to join yours (twsnowman@yahoo.com) otherwise, just email me your dates and I'll put them on. Let me know if you want this widget.

This is the site for my friend's entry of the event. It about sums it up for me.

Snowboarding in Hawaii

Yes that's right. Tyler had his first flying lesson with his friend Cliff. They flew to the Big Island, did some snowboarding, and flew back. The snow was unusually streaked with crystals. Good times, good times.

Piece of Cake?

I've wanted to get better at cake decorating for some time. SO I've started making them whenever I have an excuse. I've discovered that really the hardest part is the mess it makes and the time it takes to clean up that mess. Good thing it is fun and worth it. Here are the cakes I made for our friends' farewell party.

Surf Group

I have the opportunity of heading up the Relief Society (and friends) Surf Group in our ward every week. I LOVE IT!!! I love the ladies I get to chat with and for all the memories we've made. It is always sad to give a final aloha to one that is leaving. If it weren't for the Surf Group and their willingness to teach me and swap kids, I would never know the joys of surfing. Thanks everyone for helping me feed my need for surfing!

There is a bike path along Pearl Harbor that we rode for 1.5 miles. The shining sun and sparkling water were nice when we came to the clearings. Yea for family outings.

Send us Pictures!

Lily has discovered the computer. It is for watching movies, especially ones of herself. She will sit and watch for 15mins at a time. It's great!

She also likes to look at pictures. She has here own photo album and she will point to people, say "s dat?", wait for you to say their name, and turn the page.

So send us a picture and/or video clip of yourself. She will learn to recognize and love you. You could even ask her about her favorite words: Who's that? (point to person), Baby, nose, hi, bye-bye, etc. I'm sure she will be delighted!

Sharp Eggs

Tyler doesn't eat hard boiled eggs in any form. That meant only a small selection was needed for Lily and I. It seemed stupid to mix up egg dye for so few, so I used a less conventional coloring method:

Sharpies!

It was fast, easy, and no mess. Until Lily insists on coloring them herself, I think I have found a new Easter tradition.

Pearl City Loop

There is a loop through the jungle that we conquered on Wednesday. We always love our hikes together. It is good to get out of the house and explore.

Tyler wanted even more of a workout and went running along a branch of the trail. Lily and I chilled and had some quality picture time.
